From February 22 through May 22, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York will present No Country: Contemporary Art for South and Southeast Asia, the inaugural exhibition of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative,
which charts contemporary art and creative activity across three
geographic regions. The New York presentation features works by 22
artists and collectives representing some of the most compelling and
innovative voices in South and Southeast Asia today. All works have been
newly acquired for the Guggenheim’s collection under the auspices of
the Guggenheim UBS MAP Purchase Fund. Following its presentation in New
York, No Country
will travel to Asia Society Hong Kong Center, October 2013–February
2014. The exhibition is also expected to travel to Singapore.

To
complement the project’s mission of stimulating international dialogue,
Guggenheim.org/MAP features contributions by artists, curators, and
scholars from South and Southeast Asia, who share viewpoints on aspects
of art and culture in different parts of the region. Additionally, the
Guggenheim presents an array of public programs in conjunction with the
exhibition, including film screenings, tours, symposia, and artist
talks. For the full schedule and to RSVP for free events, visit Guggenheim.org/MAP.

Launched
in April 2012, the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative identifies
and supports a network of curators and artists from South and Southeast
Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa in a
comprehensive multiyear program involving curatorial residencies,
acquisitions for the Guggenheim’s collection, international touring
exhibitions, and far-reaching educational activities designed to engage
global audiences and stimulate cross-cultural dialogue.
